Description
Hand-stitched Panama Mola Fair Trade Latin American Textile Art
Hand Stitched by Indigenous Artisans: TraderBrock’s Molas are hand-sewn by indigenous Guna artisans in Panama. Each piece is unique due to its handcrafted nature and fair-trade origins.
What Is a Mola? A Mola is a traditional handmade textile from the indigenous Guna people of Panama and surrounding regions. It can be used as wall art, pillows, bedspreads, place mats, or quilting fabric.
Traditional Construction & Design: Molas use a reverse appliqué technique with layers of colored cloth. Designs often feature geometric patterns inspired by rainforest wildlife and ancient body paintings.
Empowering Native Artisans: Since 1991, TraderBrock has supported Panamanian indigenous artisans by reinvesting sales into their communities for education, medical care, tools, and land.
